The CrystalView™ Pro CAT5 Advantage
The CrystalView Pro CAT5 is the KVM extender of choice
for businesses that need to extend and operate a
computer, server, or KVM switch from a great distance.
The CrystalView Pro CAT5 makes this possible by the use
of standard CAT5 cable. You can fully operate and control
a computer or server from as far away as 330 feet using
standard CAT5 cable.
The CrystalView Pro CAT5 supports both DVI video as well
as analog VGA video. All combinations of DVI and VGA
video cards and monitors are supported.
The Serial/Audio model allows stereo audio to be
transmitted in either direction across the CAT5 link
simultaneously. Many serial devices like a Touchscreen
can plug directly into the serial port on the Remote Unit
The OSD features make it easy to adjust all the necessary
device parameters, color, brightness, contrast, and
saturation. RGB color compensation is performed from
the remote unit. This adjusts each color to achieve the
best image and compensate for differences in cables,
patch panels, and connectors.
The modular architecture makes the CrystalView Pro CAT5
easily adapted to your system.

Typical Application
Digitally access a computer from two locations,
one is local, the other is 330 feet away
CrystalView Pro CAT5 basics The CrystalView Pro CAT5 system
consists of a transmitter that connects to a PC, server, or KVM switch
and a receiver that connects to a keyboard, monitor, and mouse or a
KVM switch. The transmitter and receiver units are connected to gether
with up to 330 feet of standard CAT5 cable.
The ideal way to apply the CrystalView Pro CAT5 is to connect the
transmitter to a Rose Electronics KVM switch. Expanding the switch
allows the receiver to access up to 1,000 computers or servers. The
Rose Electronics KVM switch can be connected between the
transmitter and computers, the KVM station and the receiver unit, or
both.
Models The CrystalView Pro CAT5 is available in a PC model. The
dual version allows for a second KVM station next to the PCs, providing
operation from the transmitter or the receiver unit. A rack version,
containing 10 transmitters or receivers is also available.
On-screen display All models offer a digital on-screen display for
setup and configuring the unit for DVI or VGA.
Installation Installing the CrystalView Pro CAT5 units is as easy as
connecting the KVM station to the receiver, connecting the CPU t o the
transmitter, and connecting the transmitter to the receiver with CAT5
cable.
Keyboard and Mouse emulation The CrystalView Pro CAT5
uses a microprocessor to emulate the keyboard and mouse.
Rack Assembly The CrystalView Pro CAT5 can be ordered in a 10-
unit rack assembly with several options available.
